Scholars of Shen Zhou and Kongming’s Archives now have an official IRC channel. You can connect to an IRC channel (think of a channel as a chat room) to converse with other members of our forum, and viewers of Kongming’s Archives, in a real-time online chat. To participate you should download an IRC client (or use Mibbit to connect online) and enter the following information:

And One More Thing…If you are staff and you're interested, PM me so I can give you op or half op. Please sign on with your SoSZ screen name for ease of identification. Thanks to Crazedmongoose for the idea.

The Code of LawsAs #SoSZ is dedicated to the forum, all of the rules that are applied to the forum are applied here. However, certain areas need added on to because of the lack of consideration for live chat.

No bots and use of scripts.

No attempts to deliberately disrupt the general use of the channel. e.g. flooding, user abuse, spamming.

To ignore someone, type /ignore +personyouwannaignore To unignore them, use a - where the + is. Also, if you are using Mibbit, click the user's name in the sidebar and under the dropdown list, select 'Ignore.'

If the Red Overlords (a.k.a. the Admins) have any comments or concerns about the rules, please PM me.

EDIT (4/02/10): Rules revised as suggested by James and Ranbir. Adopting Ranbir's proposals.

If anybody is interested in chatting regularly with some of the SoSZ crowd, please sign up for this. It is pretty cool for those who enjoy internet chat, but unless people participate, it doesn't really amount to much.
